The research work on thermophysical properties of difluoromethane (HFC
-32) is summarized. Experimental data of critical parameters, vapor pr
essure, PVT, speed of sound, ideal-gas heat capacity, surface tension,
viscosity, thermal conductivity are given and corresponding correlati
ons are developed. The cross equation of state, the correlations of sa
turated liquid density and second virial coefficient for HFC-32 are al
so developed.
